JUVILLE, Jean.

Traité des Bandages Herniaires; dans lequel on trouve, indépendamment des Bandages ordinaires, des machines propres à remédier aux chûtes de la matrice & du rectum, à servir de récipient dans le cas d'anus artificiel, d'incontinence d'urine, &c. &c.

14 folding engraved plates (of which 13 are finely handcolored). 2 p.l., xxxiv, 232, [8] pp. 8vo, early 19th cent. sheep-backed marbled boards, flat spine gilt, contrasting vellum lettering piece on spine. Paris: Belin et al., 1786. [bound with]: JALADE-LAFOND, Guillaume. Considérations sur les Bandages Herniaires usités jusqu'a ce jour, et sur les Bandages rénixigrades, ou nouvelle Espèce de Brayer. 14 engraved plates. xii, 104 pp. 8vo. Paris: l'Auteur et al., 1818. First editions of two uncommon and attractively illustrated works dealing with hernias and their treatment. I. Juville was one of the leading designers of the late 18th century of bandages, belts, straps, trusses, etc. for the treatment of hernias and prolapses. Hirsch writes that Juville's books on the hernia are still worth reading today. The fine plates depict the trusses and bandages of the author's own invention and design. Thirteen of the plates are engraved on fine vellum paper and have been colored very carefully by hand at the time of publication. II. Jalade-Lafond was director of the orthopedic institute at Chaillot and the author of several works on hernia. The author describes a number of trusses and bandages of his own invention (well-illustrated on the plates). There are many case histories. Fine copies. Hirsch, III, pp. 477 & 412.
